like that the truck is not to big. don't like the power it has get be a lot better 355 hp just does't seem to be enough compared to it's rivals. Over all i'll buy another one but something that has a little more hp.

It's a good all around pick up truck that has aged decently, especially for having well over 200k mi

The front end area is ugly, even with the upgraded LT package the interior feels cheap, and this truck has lots of electrical issues; but even with all it's faults it has been a very dependable truck, it runs good, and gets decent gas mileage for a big 4 door V8.

5 star

Very satisfied

The looks, quality of materials and mpg compared to the other manufactures of full sized trucks. I shopped around and liked the Chevy best.

Recall Notices

2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (8/3/2017)

Campaign Number: 17V487000

Component Name: CHILD SEAT:VEHICLE TETHER ANCHOR

Manufacturer: General Motors LLC

Description: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The owner's manual for the affected vehicles may be missing instructions on how to use the tether anchorage and child restraint anchorage systems. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."

Defect: If the instructions are missing from the owner's manual, the child seat may be installed incorrectly and not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

Corrective Action: GM will notify owners, and dealers will provide a corrected insert for the owners manual, free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2017. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 17307.

2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (7/10/2017)

Campaign Number: 17V437000

Component Name: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Manufacturer: General Motors LLC

Description: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.

Defect: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.

Corrective Action: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 17287.
